Three Questions

[jcrohio]

I have recently come back to World at War and have experienced three problems.

1. Ocassionaly I loose all tool tips. This happens on all screens and is very intermittent. Eventually they come back but I am not sure what I have done to make this happen. Obviously this is not a horrible problem as I eventually get the tool tips back - more of an inconvience.

2. The Replay Last Turn tool almost always get corrupted in my games. The tool is still there but all of the buttons are gone - no fast forward, play, rewind etc buttons and no buttons to pick the world power I would like to see. I like to use this feature so this is more of a problem to me.

3. Finally, playing in full screen, if I Alt Tab the game locks up - this is new to patch 1.2 for me as I never had this problem prior to this (I never had patch 1.087 installed so it was one of the earlier ones). I know the solution is to play in windowed mode (which is what I have been doing as I relearn the game), but I prefer full screen mode.

Thanks for any help.

#1 I have no heard of that before so I can offer no answer.
#2 Unfortunately, this is a known problem that has eluded being fixed. The only solution is to close and restart WaW.
#3 Unfortunately, thats another known issue. Some people never, ever crash, while others do from time. Again, no current known fix except to play in windowed mode.

I have had this problem on fairly rare occassions. Usually, I can just save the game and reload it without exiting WAW - and the feature will work correctly.
